Certain protected health information that may be provided by You is protected, as described in Sovereign Mental Health Services’s Privacy Practices Notice. The Privacy Practices Notice may contain additional provisions relating to the use and disclosure of Your information that go beyond the terms of this Privacy Policy. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Privacy Policy and the terms of the Privacy Practices Notice, the terms of the Privacy Practices Notice shall control.

Information Collected

The type of information collected on this Web site will depend upon the features and functionalities available on the Web site, which may be revised from time to time. For example, if the Web site is currently operated as a “read-only” web site, personal information about you may not be collected through the Web site, and will not learn who you are. If the Web site permits you to “register,” “create an account,” make purchases, or take similar actions, information will be collected from You that can be used to specifically identify You as an individual (such as Your name, telephone number, postal address, email address, and/or payment information, collectively Your “Personal Data”). This Web site also automatically collects aggregated information that is not linked to any specific individual such as information about traffic patterns on the Web site, or the number of times a specific page was viewed in a particular month. We may use and share aggregate, de-identified, and anonymous data without restriction as it does not identify You or any other individual user.

Personal Data, Use and Sharing

If this Web site permits You to register, create an account, make purchases, or take similar actions, and if You chose to take such actions, we will ask You to provide us with certain Personal Data about Yourself. It is always Your choice whether You wish to provide Personal Data through this Web site, but if You choose not to provide requested Personal Data, You may not be able to use all the features or functionalities of the Web site.

Personal Data may be combined with other information we receive through other methods. Personal Data will not be sold or given to third parties for marketing purposes except in the limited cases described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to share Your Personal Data with third parties if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal process served upon us, or to protect the safety of You, members of the public, other users of this Web site, or any other person, or to protect Sovereign Mental Health Services’s rights. We also may use and/or share Personal Data with third parties that help us operate our business, for example we may provide Your email address to an email vendor that helps us send large volumes of email, and if a purchase is made we may share Your Personal Data with third parties as necessary to process Your order and receive payment. Sovereign Mental Health Services may share Personal Data with our affiliate and subsidiary entities and we may transfer Personal Data to a successor entity such as in the case of a sale of our business, a particular business division, merger, spin-off, sale of substantially all assets, or a similar transaction. Sovereign Mental Health Services may use Personal Data to provide requested services to You and to provide You with additional information we believe You may find interesting or useful. Depending upon the features of this Web site, we may use Personal Data to track Your activities and/or progress on and through this Web site, as well as purchases made through this site or other transaction history. We may contact You through any and all contact methods (e.g., cell phone, fax, email, etc.) You provide us through this Web site.
